Reid and Common Sense Realism

Series
Reid's Critique of Hume
Video Audio Embed
Part two of Professor Dan Robinson's examination of Reid's critique of David Hume.

The “ideal” theory, relegating ideas to a mental realm whose occupants are but “copies” of some indefinite thing, is the sure path to skepticism and is at variance with the proper methods of science.
